MSDE over TCP/IP

I've got a SQL Server Desktop Engine (version 8.00.2039 - SP4) installation
running our SharePoint site. I now need to connect to this database remotely
via TCP/IP, but can't get it to enable the protocol.
The log file always just says:
2007-12-11 12:13:46.39 server Using 'SSNETLIB.DLL' version '8.0.2039'.
2007-12-11 12:13:46.39 server SQL server listening on Shared Memory.
I've tried all the suggestions I've heard on the internet. What I've tried:
Install the latest MSDE Service Pack (SP4)
Use SVRNETCN.exe to enable the TCP/IP Protocol
Enable TCP/IP, Set to Port 0, Restart Service, Set to Port 1433, Restart
Service.
I've hard reset the machine, I've installed all the latest service packs on
this machine. I've disabled the firewall. I've tried ports other than 1433.
I've tried enabling Named Pipes & NWLink at various times as well. No matter
what I do, the log still shows it listening only on shared memory.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated as I'm completely stumped.

If you see no effects at all from using svrnetcn.exe, perhaps you have got
multiple instances installed. Drop down the "Instances on this server"
combo at the top of the General tab of the svrnetcn.exe dialog (similarly
the Server combo at the top of the SQL Server Service Manager dialog).

Unfortunately, that's not the problem. There is only 1 instance installed on
this server. I forgot to mention this before and don't know if it makes a
difference, but this is a named instance. It's called DOCMGR\SHAREPOINT. It's
also running on Windows Server 2003 with all the latest service packs
installed.

Well, it was something that was possible, given the symptoms you described.
Sorry, I'm out of further ideas. Good luck!

have moved my SharePoint to a full install of SQL Server 2000 and gotten the
functionality I needed.
